A short glance of the Conveniences, Pro∣fits, and Pleasures of this Work, men∣tioning only some few.
THe Conveniences, Pleasures, and Profits of such a Work as this, arising to the whole Nation, must certainly be very many, and not easily apprehended, but by experience, and con∣sideration thereupon; I will only hint some few. As first,
The great pleasure and content which all Tra∣vellers must needs take by such cleanly, 1 smooth, straight, delightfull, and undistur'd Wayes, both Summer and Winter, Day or Night, without fear or danger, &c.
An ordinary Horse shall carry a man further than one of a far better price.
All Trades-men and others shall have their Com∣modities carried at a far easier price. 2
Most Commodities therefore must needs be cheaper.
Men may Ride Post safely so well by Night as by Day, 3 which in Summer time is to be chosen. 4
Post-Horses and Hackneys may well be afforded at easier Rates; so likewise Coaches.
The great destruction in laming Horses, 5 must needs be prevented: Horses therefore undoubted∣ly be cheaper.
Much Ground will be saved by this means; 6 And the length of all Long Journeys shortned. 7
